The Nodal Axis in Aquarius Leo - July 26, 2026 to March 26, 2028 - Great Depression II?

 

The Nodes move to the Aquarius Leo axis on July 26, 2026 until March 26, 2028. During that period there are five eclipses within those Signs, and still one more in each Virgo and Pisces. However, this Nodal axis will also host one eclipse in Capricorn and one in Cancer. 

Let's explore the energies.

The new orientation will direct the collective and individual lives to the community and humanitarian concerns. People will now focus on participating in networks of like minds or like activism in order to work on common goals and innovative ways of achieving them. The keyword for this North Node is cooperation, instead of the competition that inspires Leo. 

During this period, individual interests and self centered aspirations are left behind for the benefit of the collective. North Node in Aquarius always finds a good cause to pursue to make society a better place to live for everybody. For this reason, this is the intelligent North Node Sign of new ideas, which usually breaks obsolete structures, thinking ahead to bring up ingenious and often unprecedented solutions to old problems. However, it's done with great humility, never asking or expecting to receive rewards, not even individual recognition to become a leader, center stage performer, or be in the spotlight.

The North Node returns to the same Sign every 18.6 years. Here are the historical events related to the North Node in Aquarius:

2008-2009 Subprime Crisis - Recession, banks & corporations bailout by taxpayers

1987-1989 Black Monday global stock market crash on October 19, 1987

1969-1970 Recession, inflation, unemployment, Nixon

1950-1952 Korean War inflation period

1931-1933 Great Depression

According to the Theory of Economic Cycles of Louise McWhirter, the economy falls to its lowest level when the North Node transits Aquarius. This is what this astrologer has confirmed in the historical research above. That makes even more sense if we consider that Saturn (traditional ruler of Aquarius) is transiting the Sign of his 'fall' in Aries. This astrologer predicts that the economic downturn will continue and possibly deepen once Saturn travels through Taurus and forms a square with Pluto. At that time, world conflicts and great turmoil associated with such square may cause food shortages and problems with distribution of resources and energy. Please read my previous article on Saturn Pluto square to understand what is coming down the road.  

During the period when the Nodal Axis is in Aquarius Leo, there will be nine eclipses, but not all of them happen in those Signs. Only the following ones will be in Aquarius. It is important to take note of their dates to keep record of the events associated with them. You could also check if any of them falls within 3º orb of your natal or progressed planets or main angles, which would mean that you would be affected by their energy.

South Node in Leo

Ketu or the Lunar South Node acts as a drain of celebrity Leo energy. There will be an unavoidable disintegration of the personality cult and glory 'holders' and seekers will fall from grace. The invigoration of the social sense of community will overshadow ego-centered leadership. Individuals looking for power and prominence just to satisfy their own interest will be done with, because people are not willing to seek them nor sustain them. This is due to the fact that the common folk has completely lost confidence in that kind of leadership. OOB Pluto contributes to the empowerment of the lower classes that now oppose the corrupt leadership elites. To better understand the works of Pluto in Aquarius, I refer you to my previous blog about Pluto in Aquarius.

Those who constantly look for and need personal recognition are now left behind; there are no more sycophants available to sustain their vanity. Drama and self serving performance will be despised. People are now discovering that they need to unite and collaborate together if they are going to come out of the pit where the Plutos in Leo have submerged them. In fact, coinciding with the Leo South Node transit, many of these are now octogenarians and leaving this world as well. 

To interpret the North Node in Aquarius, follow the transit of Saturn in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini. Aspects to Pluto are important as well during this period, especially when an eclipse joins Pluto (Jan. 26, 2028). Uranus, modern ruler of Aquarius makes perfect trine with Pluto in Aquarius over the summer of 2026, possibly related to popular rebellion against totalitarian governments, or the imposition of social controls (i.e. social media regulations, etc). Other developments relate to the Small Triangle they form that includes Neptune. To better understand this extremely rare configuration, I refer you to my blogs on the Small Triangle for the historical perspective and Pluto Trine Uranus with Neptune at Midpoint for the predictions.

Here are the two eclipses with the South Node in Leo during this period. 

Total Solar Eclipse August 12, 2026 @ 20º ♌️ 06’

Total Solar Eclipse August 2d, 2027 @ 9º ♌️ 55’

Saturn Pluto Cycle - Waxing Sextile and the Reactivation of 2020

 

In order to understand the current times, one needs to keep in mind the astrological background defined by the bigger outer planets cycles. 

In this article, I will discuss the Saturn Pluto cycle that started January 12, 2020. I don't need to remind you the events associated with it. I am certain that you will always remember them. I will only remind you the astrology of it. This is the chart. 

The only detail that is missing is that the conjunction happened right on top of the Planetary South Nodes of both Pluto and Saturn. This small details marks the karmic nature of these two planets that directly relates to all the power struggles and human urge for domination of the long gone past. 

About Pluto

In her book Persephone's Revolution, Rosie Finn goes back in recorded History till almost two thousand years BCE. She calculated that Pluto was then in extreme declination alternatively North or South at 36º, every ~248 years. It was the time of the patriarchal consolidation in society, when the known world was involved in cruel wars for conquest and dominion over lands and peoples. Hammurabi created the legal code based on "an eye for an eye" (in a literal sense). 

It was probably the highest point in the curve of OOB Pluto that takes thousands and thousands of years. From then until the present day, Pluto has progressively gotten fewer degrees OOB every time, until our present time when he barely peaks at 23º South 48' (October 2030). 

Why do I mention this? Because this is the last time! for about ten thousands years. That's it, after this one ends in 2035, we will never again have excessive cruel empowerment associated with an extreme Pluto, not from authorities nor from the common people. 

And you may be thinking, 'how about the power grab, and the authoritarian regimes that has been sprouting everywhere with the Saturn Pluto conjunction of 2020?' Astrology says that it is smoke in mirrors. It is there so people wake up. Now, people are able to see how they have been manipulated into believing a certain reality so they kept low (+80 years of Neptune sextile Pluto).  Illusions like freedom of speech, democracy, elections, having a government representative of people's interests, and so many more!  (This due to the other major planetary cycle of Neptune Pluto that we will discuss in a future). But now, people are ready to reclaim their hard earned rights and original power.

Saturn in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius - March 28, 2026

Now the power grabbers are innovators in technological advancement and scientific discoveries that don't take into consideration the consequences over life on Earth. This thanks to the Aquarius archetype, an aloof sign that lives in the mind, and creates through intellectual activity, detached from emotions, and for whom life sustaining resources (Taurus) present a hindrance (Aquarius square Taurus). They know that the newest inventions may represent a fatal threat to humanity, but they can't stop themselves, such is the need of Aquarius for ego recognition (opposition to Leo).

Saturn in Aries -with Neptune- represents the pioneering of illusory structures, the construction of those initiatives obsessively proposed by Pluto in Aquarius. 

Keep in mind that all of this takes place in the context of their conjunction in Capricorn. This may mean that the governmental institutions are in bed with, even live off, or survive thanks to developments like AI and other Frankensteinian monstrosities.

The other function  of this sextile is to give the structural birth of a new virtual (Neptune) entity (Aries), AI. According to Youval Noah Harari AI is not considered a "tool" to work with any more. And if we believe Matt Shuman essay as well, AI has now demonstrated that it is its own agent, acting and creating things and even itself independently of human work. Ironically, on February 9, 2026, Matt Shuman starts his writing "Think back to February 2020", which matches exactly with the Saturn Pluto conjunction.

Youval N. Harari maintains that AI is capable of getting its own legal person status and identity, create its own business or corporation, and even create a country with a constitution and citizenship. Not only is it capable of govern itself, but, in the future, govern others, specifically us humans. If abandoned to its own, AI is much like another -this time not fictional, but real- Frankenstein.

A few days ago on April 7, 2026, the CEO of Anthropic announces that 

"Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser. Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely. The fallout—for economies, public safety, and national security—could be severe."1

And that they are trusting Mythos to a class of Corporations namely "Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks" in "an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes." Which means that those companies will have full access to use Mythos capabilities for their own purposes. Considering the history of those companies, how confident are you that they will use those capabilities for the benefit of the public? Furthermore, isn't also Anthropic demonstrating their own infinite power to confront the latest conflicts with the US government? 

This, to me, reflects the archetype of Pluto (power/empowerment) in Aquarius (technology/technocracy), because now, the Tech Industry is literally more powerful than any government on Earth. The President may say "I can do whatever I want", but the ones that actually can are the owners of the Tech Industry, specifically the companies listed above. 

Saturn with Neptune in Aries represents the structural creation of a new entity. An entity capable of dominating all other entities on the surface of the Earth. So, humanity has developed something even more potent - and potentially more destructive - than the atomic power: Agent AI.

Full Moon Leo - February 1, 2026 - Follow Your Heart but Be Patient

Here comes the Leo Moon, with her extra confidence in herself, dramatic, showing off her might, and joy in the middle of the stage. She wants to perform her bombastic emotional show for the entertainment of the public. Except that not everybody is ready nor willing to watch it. 

She is bringing to the stage the energy of her last aspects : opposition to Pluto 16 hours earlier, which has nothing to be ignored, and to Mars 10 hours earlier which upsets her so badly like a punch (Mars) in the stomach (Moon). When she comes to her culmination with the Sun, she is already very disturbed. 

Now, the Full Moon, not only does the Sun in Aquarius opposes the Moon in Leo, but by Sign, she opposes Pluto, Venus and Mars, and Mercury all together. 

You may think that this Moon is un-aspected. Wrong. There is a crucially important aspect, so called "minor". You need to look deeper into the invisible chart. There is a sesquiquadrate to Saturn, which by his nature, disciplines, delays, restricts, separates. But also, according to Bernadette Brady the 135º angle means “frustration of action that eventually leads to a delayed achievement.”1 Why? because there is a need to overcome a considerable frustration (45º angle) in order to have success in the actions taken (90º angle). You may be stopped by doubt, hesitation or just putting off your response due to other people’s actions or opinions.  Or, stubbornly using old methods. So, “the delays [will] force people into new modes of action - but only after several attempts to proceed in the old direction.” 1 

Next important are de declination aspects. The Moon is at the same 19º declination North than Uranus, called “parallel” which means even stronger than a conjunction. She is also “contra-parallel” at 19º to Mars, which is similar to, but stronger than an opposition. 

Kicking against the goads

What would be best? Kicking against the goads or stop and refuse to move? You will have to decide how to proceed. This Lunation then, has the potential to intensify emotions to a point where you rebel to the point of losing control and act impulsively even tragically blinded by them. People can take extreme measures, or actions that are unlike themselves, and turn out impossible to reverse. All the while, event though you may not achieve your goals, they are in the works. Actually those irreversible results may trigger the results you seek. Stay calm, meditate, take time to reflect, breathe deeply before acting, and know that all your efforts against what upsets you, will give fruit after overcoming the present struggles.

Also consider the context within which your situation is playing. It is crucial to correctly assess with discernment the information, the news and ideas showing up in your social media feeds. Not everything that is being said is true, there is a lot of AI fabrication aiming at manipulating the masses, most especially since Neptune ingress in Aries. Why? You wonder. There has been a surge of militant (Aries) inspired (Neptune) art, music, theatre, paintings, and publications, etc. to stir people into action (Aries). Neptune uses inspiration, imagination and often fantasy in his creativity. You may be embarking in a major spiritual war even though you think you are fighting for collective freedom. This may overwhelm you if you're not spiritually prepared.

Remember that Leo shines, but Aquarius enlightens. 

The Sun Moon opposition means some kind of 'culmination', acknowledgment, definite realization that can overwhelm or upset you in a way that you don't feel in control anymore. This energy may have different outlets. The collective consciousness that the Sun illuminates in Aquarius can be expressed in a dramatic way by the masses symbolized by the Moon in Leo. Aquarius is a cold mental sign, try to be objective. Certainly do not let yourself be dragged by your emotions.

In your personal life, this energy will probably be reflected in your significant relationships. You and your partner may be butting heads not able to back down your respective positions. Leo and Aquarius are solid fixed Signs after all, they commonly err by stubbornness and obstinacy. You both need to find a balance between achieving goals and enjoying the moment, between committing and keeping your independence. The fixity makes confrontations between partners very difficult to reconcile because they are both anchored, determined to defend their position, and have a hard time changing.

However, the Full Moon in Leo is also festive, full of natural vitality and youthful creativity. This weekend is a good time to add more joy to your life as much as possible. A positive way to use this energy is doing something out of the norm without strings attached or trying to achieve any objective that cannot be reached immediately. Some ideas are: group activities, sharing moments with friends, going to a restaurant, or playing guitar and singing new songs with your tribe. Also look for the truth as best you can. Soon after, the Moon square Uranus and may trigger some unwelcome surprise.

January 3, 2026 - Cancer Full Moon

 

The Cancer Full Moon happens January 3, 2026 @ 5:02 am EST (location Washington DC, US). The chart features the Moon at 13º♋︎ 01' and the Sun opposite at 13º♑︎ 01'. The Moon is out-of-bounds North and at her perigee. These conditions make her gravitational pull extremely powerful, especially over the waters, physically and figuratively as well. 

For example, at the time of this Full Moon we will see heavy storms pouring lots of water, provoking flooding, or heavy snowing with great accumulation. The high ocean tides are unusually higher as well. She also has great impact over the human body fluids, often causing fluid retention. It is typical to see emergency rooms packed full of sick people, and those who suffer open wounds bleed profusely. Astrologically, she has an impact on human emotional body. Many experience extreme emotional sensitivity, and those who have not yet learned how to manage it, may fall prey of their own impulsive reactions. 

Venus and Mars also oppose the Moon from their occult positions flanking the Sun at 12º♑︎14' and 14º♑︎32' respectively. They are invisible, entirely covered by the sunbeams because they are travelling behind the Sun in their 'superior conjunction' from our Earth perspective. Because of the distance and their size, they look smaller than the Sun, so, they take a few days to cross the Sun circumference, before they reappear on the other side. In addition, the Sun is also moving 1º a day, resulting on the three of them parading for several days in conjunction. 

Venus completes her 'superior conjunction' January 6, 2026 at 16º♑︎22', and because she is out-of-bounds South, this means that, even if she comes out the other side of the Sun as an evening star, it will not be visible for several weeks in the Northern Hemisphere, appearing by the end of March in the west sky as evening star. 

On the other hand, Mars conjoins the Sun, at 'superior conjunction' January 9, 2026 at 19º♑︎12'. He will start showing away from the sunbeams on March 3, 2026, but because he is also out-of-bounds South at the moment, he is also below the Tropic of Capricorn, it will not be visible in the Northern Hemisphere until April 13, 2026.  

Venus and Mars have their own conjunction -behind the back of the Sun- on January 7, 2026 st 18º♑︎09'. 

The meaning of all of this is that Venus and Mars have a powerful influence over this Full Moon. 

OOB Venus represents intense desires, creativity, grace and charm, exceptional popularity, magnetic attractiveness, unusual seductive sensuality. At this point she is still Morning Star. Then, combining both conditions, she may show her less glorious qualities, like extravagance, lust for luxurious items or for things that are not given, envy, indulgence, excessive greed, and pompous propositions. 

OOB Mars is highly motivated to reach for his ambitions since he is exalted in Capricorn. He can charge impulsively and aggressively with the might of an exaggerated passion, and powerful desire. He may engage in a reckless adventure or conquest trusting his strong leadership skills. Families may suffer from his reckless belligerence, especially in matters of war. 

Under their influence, in our personal lives, we may become easily irritable, quick to anger, or sexually dominant, especially if we vehemently want something that is not ours or we cannot have. Certain men with an extreme sense of their masculinity may become full of themselves and violently brutal. Certain authority figures, or a head of state may declare war or invade another country or region believing that he is unstoppable. 

Generally speaking, since this Full Moon is in the Sign of home and family, women and mothers who live around this kind of men, should be more careful and find shelter in case they show signs of aggressiveness or violence in the home. The co-presence of the Moon (applying) and Jupiter in Cancer expands all the previously described significations of this Full Moon. As you can imagine, even though Jupiter is the 'benefic' of the Solar System, not all expansions are beneficial, some maybe unwelcomed, right? In addition, Jupiter rules the Day Sect and the Full Moon happens during the night (5:02 am EST), so Venus is the more benefic and protector in this instance, not Jupiter. But, as said above, Venus is debilitated invisible behind the Sun, and with Mars, not the best company either! This makes for secrets.

In the USA

The Cancer Full Moon falls exactly on the natal Sun of the USA chart, in the 8th WSHS house, shedding light on secrets, hidden manipulations and dealings, shared finances, debt and debtors, goods of the dead. According to Deborah Houlding, the Eighth House of a country represents:

"The national debt; the collector of taxes; danger to the people through war or national disasters; the resources of the enemy. Financial relations with foreign countries. The privy council. Public mortality, the death rate, death duties and the kinds of people who die."1

In addition, the natal Sun rules the 9th WSHS house. This is the house of the international relations, foreigners, foreign cultures, religion, etc. Here is what Deborah Houlding has to say about what this House represents.

"Religion, the Church and all institutions dealing with religious or spiritual matters. If afflicted, the 9th house can represent unsavoury cults and dogmatic religious organisations. Foreign affairs and the foreign office; international law, world conferences; the United Nations. Shipping, sea traffic and long distance journeys generally, whether connected with passengers or commerce. Airlines. The publishing industry, long distance and international communications. Universities, colleges, all places of higher learning or specialist study; professors, philosophical and scientific institutions and publications. The Law society."1

In conclusion, the Cancer Full Moon is the culmination of a Sagittarius New Moon cycle. Obviously, the theme relates to foreign affairs, secret dealings with foreign authority figures, or heads of state of any kind. Conferences among mandataries, involving international relations and international law, maybe trade and shipping of goods. 

As the natal Sun also represents the US head of state, or the President, the Full Moon also sheds light on his hidden activity in relation to those foreigners, regarding trade, or issues of immigration, emigration, visas, institutions of higher studies, etc. All of which have been evident since the start of this Moon cycle in Sagittarius. 

Astrology is more often than not this archetypally literal!
